No matter what brought you here to this family registration page or where you are at in your child’s or your own diagnosis of a Leukodystrophy, we are here to help and support you! The ultimate goal of Hunter's Hope Foundation is to find a cure for Krabbe disease and other leukodystrophies. We hope you will join the Hunter's Hope family in achieving this goal. With your help, by registering yourself or your affected family member we will be able to prove higher prevalences of these diseases to assist us in our fight for Expanded & Universal Newborn Screening.

Registration is easy and quick to complete. Thank you for joining us in this fight and welcome to our family!

Once you become a registered family, we encourage you to tell your Family’s story. With your permission, we would welcome the opportunity to feature your family and your personal story on the families section of our website. Tell your story and impact those who have shared in your family’s battle with Krabbe or other Leukodystrophy disease.

"By
being a part of the Hunter's Hope family, I have been supported through
the Family Program while I went through the transplant process with my
son. I could never thank Hunter's Hope enough for all the help and
emotional support we received! "~ Ana, mom to Elmer (Krabbe Disease diagnosed through Newborn Screening, transplant)

Elmer was born March 4, 2007. He was the first baby to be diagnosed with
Krabbe disease after Newborn Screening (NBS) standards were improved
and Krabbe was added to the NBS panel in the state of New York. Elmer
received a Cord Blood Transplant at Duke University Hospital in Durham,
NC on April 6, 2007. Currently, Elmer is thriving and continuing to gain
new skills.
